once again.. houzz screwed up a very long post.. i will try to recreate it best i can ....

=====

british shows are fun to watch.. for their use of english .. lol ... especially if they get all wound up about something like aluminum in the garden ..

its like.. how many extra syllables and vowels can you add to a word .. lol .....

omg ... this dude made a 5 min youtub on it.. lol

forgive me flora ... lol .. i blame the romans ... those latin dudes usually add all kind of syllables .. like Londinium.. whats that all about ... ... but i digress ...

back to the topic .... i got messed up by gorgeous british garden books back befroe the WWW when all the books started claiming hosta were full sun plants ... and i got all excited ..

who knew they were at the 60th parallel ... 2/3 of the way to the north pole ... so light intensity is very weak comparing to the US.. especially the further south you go .. in the US ...

so when you watch.. be able to differentiate cultural variables like light.. according to the source of the info ... and how you apply it to your garden ...

another variable would be rain ... it kinda rains there all the time .. and thats another reason that sun intensity is down.. cloud cover.. but when the sun does come out.. everything is sodden anyway.. so they can tolerate more sun ... its never going to be 100 degrees F in august with no rain for weeks on end ...

oh.. and btw .. if you ever wondered why they can have z9 up 2/3 of the way to the north pole.. its called the north atlantic drift ... ocean currents temper another variable.. cold ... go figure ... probaly create the rain patterns also .. go figure on that.. who knew you had to go all science in the garden ... and history .. double go figure ....

unfortunately.. im already paying 200 bucks a month for tv, web and phone.. and it will be a cold day in hell MI ... when i start paying for more services on the boob tube ... so i guess i wont be watching ... bummer ...

the weather is not nice today ... so im pretty bored.. can you tell .. lol ...

thx for the heads up gal ....

I don't get Britbox currently. Just Pluto. Not much for gardening, though sometimes there's old Martha Stewart or some random landscaping shows tossed into the mix on the Home channels.

BritBox is on my wish list if and when I get a job. Between the gardening shows, the mystery shows and the historical stuff, it's sounds fun. And I don't even watch tv, except for hockey. But this would definitely get me to sit down and watch awhile!
